In fact, at this time, Li Mingbao could say that he was not short of money and take this job into his own hands. But Li Mingbao didn't do this. It's not that he didn't want to be in the limelight, but if this thing was created by him alone, it would not have a good impact on the celebrity system. So even if he has money, he can't spend much money on this. Fortunately, Li Mingbao never thought about asking Uncle Liu and the others to come with him to provide the funds, so after hearing Uncle Liu's actual difficulties, Li Mingbao said again: "Uncle Liu, I didn't say that this thing must be needed. We have to build it ourselves. If we really do this, other film companies may not understand our good intentions. What I mean is that the office of this celebrity selection system must be located in Hong Kong, but it is not. When it comes to office locations or supporting facilities such as hotels and clubs, we must pay for them. When things are placed in Hong Kong, they belong to our entire film industry, not simply to a certain group or a certain company. The company is a facility shared by everyone. Therefore, we cannot solve this problem, but rely on all the companies involved in this business to contribute money and efforts. The film companies in the entire East Asia region will contribute. At a cost of one billion Hong Kong dollars, if calculated on the head of each film company, this investment can only be done in a few million, or even hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. This still costs one billion Hong Kong dollars, but something like this is worth it. , and they can¡¯t spend that much money at all, so every company can make this thing a reality with a little effort, and it doesn¡¯t need to spend much money.¡± Hearing Li Mingbao¡¯s explanation, Liu Shu also came back to his senses. Come, nodded and said: "That's right, this kind of thing is something that is common to the industry. If we Hong Kong people do it, other companies may not be happy. By the way, we have industry conferences When is it going to be held? There are more and more film company bosses coming to Hong Kong, and they are basically all here. We should officially start taking action on this matter. If it is delayed for a long time, there may be other variables. I heard that Hollywood has sent people over. Li Sheng, do you have any more news? " "Hollywood has indeed sent people over, but they don't pay much attention to it. After all, Hollywood has never been the mainstream in the East Asian market. Their main business is always in Europe and the United States, and the market in East Asia is not something they can leverage now. They came here just to inquire about the situation. After all, the noise this time was quite big. If they were interested in this thing. We are completely clueless, and it is a bit embarrassing for the people in Hollywood. They will not have any destructive power on our plan, but we can communicate with the people over there if our plan is successful. , then it will not be so difficult to promote such a plan in Hollywood at the same time." Li Mingbao knows that Hollywood is sending people over, after all, his current strength in Hollywood is not small. Although his company there only has one DreamWorks, and other industries are not on the table. But due to his close relationship with 20th Century Fox and News Corporation, one plus one plus one is greater than three, and his status in Hollywood is also increasing day by day. He and Murdoch had sufficient capital to directly enter the top core circle of Hollywood with the help of John. And because John also introduced Li Mingbao and Murdoch, his influence in the core circle also rose to a big level. Although it is not a panoramic view, it has pushed 20th Century Fox to a unique position. Therefore, the cooperation between the three of them is a win-win-win situation. This is only the early stage. If after the formal contract between the three parties is obtained, News Corporation acquires Twentieth Century Fox, and then DreamWorks forms an alliance with Twentieth Century Fox and News Corporation, then this iron triangle, even for Wall Street, will Those capitalists will also have a headache. Even because of such examples, other Hollywood giants have recently been actively seeking suitable partners. But it is not so easy for them to find suitable partners. The people on Wall Street are all wolves, and the people in Hollywood are also not good friends. Although everyone understands that after cooperation, both parties will The strength will be greatly improved, but no company can really take such a critical step. It's not that they don't understand the benefits. The main reason is that when both parties cooperate, they actually want to completely swallow up the other party and enjoy all the benefits. In fact, the original cooperation between News Corporation and 20th Century Fox also had such an idea. However, due to the addition of Li Mingbao as a lubricant, a three-legged pattern was formed. No one dared to act rashly. The result was the strength of News Corporation. The strongest, just like Cao Wei, and Twentieth Century Fox?The company's strength is slightly weaker, just like Soochow. In the end, Li Mingbao's dream factory became the Shu Kingdom. Cao Wei was too strong, so Li Mingbao joined forces with Soochow. In this way, the three parties can achieve a certain balance, plus Li Mingbao's cash Capital not only increased Murdoch's voice in News Corporation, but also increased John's voice in 20th Century Fox. With the advantage of funds, both of them completed the internal cleanup work, and subsequent cooperation , it seems pure. Although it seems that Li Mingbao is the weakest party, any family can eat Li Mingbao, but due to Li Mingbao's financial support, it is difficult for any family to bite Li Mingbao, so the three of them can live together in peace, and then gain common gains. profit. The price Li Mingbao paid for such a peaceful status quo was the first quarter profit of the previous TV program production company, which was nearly 300 million US dollars, all of which was filled in this hole. This is the real reason why Li Mingbao¡¯s investment in the mainland has not yet secured all the funds, because before he invested in the mainland, he took out such a huge sum of cash. If it were an ordinary person, it would be directly It¡¯s time to stop cooking. Where else can we invest? But fortunately, Li Mingbao's current industry in the United States can basically be regarded as a money printing machine. The money earned by DreamWorks TV program production company cannot be transferred to the mainland, but the money earned by DreamWorks Film Company can It can be placed in mainland China. Although this company's profit-making speed is not as dazzling as that of program production companies, in Hollywood, its profits are also among the top. In addition, there are already funds in Hong Kong, so there is no need to find banks for financing, and there is no burden of foreign debt. Li Mingbao¡¯s efforts have been great, and his gains have also been great. Therefore, the situation in Hollywood basically has no secrets for Li Mingbao in Hong Kong. This is the real reason why Li Mingbao was so confident that he told Uncle Six that there was no need to worry about people from Hollywood coming to cause trouble and things going wrong. After all, for those in the top tycoon circle in Hollywood, the film industry in Hong Kong can basically be said to be the exclusive domain of the new tycoon Li Mingbao. As long as their brains are not crazy, they will not interact with Li Mingbao in this place. What tricks, let alone this place is Li Mingbao's home court, even if Hong Kong is not Li Mingbao's home court, those people will not go against Li Mingbao for the small interests of Hong Kong. That is not in their interests. In addition to the top circles, even if other companies in Hollywood want to intervene, Li Mingbao will let them understand why Hua'er is so popular. The variables that Uncle Liu is worried about are basically difficult to appear. After Li Mingbao said such words, Uncle Six stopped talking. He also knew to some extent Li Mingbao's status in the Hollywood circle. Li Mingbao said nothing would happen, then nothing would really happen. "Then when should we schedule the meeting?" Uncle Liu continued to ask. "Well, the time is just one week later. Then we will book the golf course as the venue for our activities. I believe that after a week, no new people will come over, and there will be no need to wait alone for someone. A company." Li Mingbao thought for a while and determined the final time for the conference. "It will be in a week. At that time, Li Sheng, please communicate more with those foreign companies. Li Sheng, your reputation is much better than mine and Zou Wenhuai, and others will give you face. When we do Let's start with it." Uncle Liu put forward a new condition at this time. "Uncle Liu, this matter mainly depends on your communication. I can be regarded as a sponsor at most. Although the interests of the brokerage company in my hands are more closely related to those of celebrities, the income of the brokerage company, I didn¡¯t get much. What would you do to me if you take action? So, the most important thing about this matter is you, Uncle Six. If you can be fair and just during the negotiation, then this matter will be easy to negotiate. But if There are too many personal interests involved. If others don't sell your face, they won't sell mine either. "Uncle Liu wants to capture Li Mingbao as a coolie, but Li Mingbao doesn't have that much time. For industry conferences, Li Mingbao's most important job is to state the rules he has formulated. As for the subsequent exchange of interests, Li Mingbao really doesn't want to get involved. After all, he doesn't have much interest in this. For the benefit of others and With other people involved, Li Mingbao is not so stupid. Uncle Liu and the others have to pay a price for whatever benefits they want to gain. It is nonsense to want Li Mingbao to support them. Anyway, the plan succeeded in the end. As long as it didn't deviate too much from the system established by Li Mingbao, then Li Mingbao didn't have to do anything. Unless there are major changes in the rules formulated by Li Mingbao in the end due to their struggle for interests, then Li Mingbao will come forward. He can't control the interests, and he doesn't want to, but for something as fundamental as the rules, Li Mingbao??I really don¡¯t want any changes, that¡¯s definitely not a good thing. There have been too many changes, and a plan that was originally without loopholes will become full of loopholes, affecting the whole body. As long as the rules are slightly changed, Li Mingbao's perfect rules can easily cause problems. Small problems are within Li Mingbao's tolerance, but big problems are something Li Mingbao absolutely does not want to accept.
